Trevor James SR 'EVO'

This horn (which will be for the UK maket only at the moment) is a development of our popular intermediate 'SR' model.

This new sax can be categorized as a high-level student/intermediate horn, with many of its crook and mechanism features designed downwards from the 'SR' models. We have also built on some of the performamce qualities of the TJ Horn '88 and incorporated many of these design features within this new horn.

The SR 'EVO' has rich tonal characteristics with plenty of projection.

Professionally designed crook modifications producing a wide and open sound

Strengthened crook receiver

Larger body bore for excellent projection

Redesigned rounded keywork with dished table keys for a faster, smoother playing action

We do not sell our instruments directly to musicians. Instead we sell our Trevor James saxophones via our international network of specialist distributors. The details of the TJ representatives in your area can found here .

Sax Assembly Guide

Put the neck strap around your neck.

Take the main body of the sax from its case holding it firmly by the bell.

Hook the neck strap on to the ring positioned about half way down the back of the body.

Ensure the neck screw is loosened and insert the crook, which should line up with the neck strap ring.

Tighten the screw so that the crook is secure.

Apply a little cork grease to the cork (re-do once a week) and push the mouthpiece on to the cork with the opening facing downwards.

It is vital that when you have finished playing your instrument that you either clean it correctly or put it away in it’s case or place the saxophone on to a saxophone stand. Most of the repair damage we see in our workshops comes from players who have simply laid their saxophone down on a chair whilst they have ‘nipped’ out for a coffee or for lunch. Saxophones can be easily damaged!

Sax slings

All our included sax slings come with a non metal sax hook attached. The choice of sax slings is vast however we recommed you do not use a sax sling with a bare metal hook (unless it has a non metaillic coating over it) as over a period of time, the metal hook could possibly cause some wear to the sling ring which is located on the rear of the saxophone.
